Hello
Wednesday (7th December 2011) night was an awesome night with amazing show performed by the Japanese duo, Hanamas.
Addition information, Hanamas comes from the combination of their last name.
Chie Hanawa and Natsumi Okimasu

The leaflet and tickets.
Before the Hanamas performance, the show started with the speech by the Ambassador of Japan and the speech of Guest of Honour. After the speeches, the real performance began with the solo performance by Chie Hanawa, the Tsugaru Shamisen player. The sound produced by the Tsugaru Shamisen was awesome, it made me feels like I am sitting in some kind of Ancient Asian restaurant enjoying my cup of tea. HAHAHAH Most of the performance was the collaboration of the Tsugaru Shamisen, Violin, Guitar and Percussion. The collaboration was amazing.
That night, they performed a total of 14 songs (if I am not mistaken) - modern music and traditional Japanese music. The show lasted for about an hour plus. Awesome stuffs always ended very fast >_< but at least I enjoyed my night. =D Hopefully I get to watch Hanamas Show again in the future.
Gotta end here.
Adios.
